Description:
K9 Web Protection is a content filtering solution for your
home computer. Its job is to provide you with a family-safe
Internet experience, where YOU control the Internet content that
enters your home.
K9 Web Protection implements the same enterprise-class Web
filtering technology used by Blue Coat's Fortune 500 customers
around the world, wrapped in simple, friendly, and reliable
preference pane for your Mac.
Blue Coat's unique Web filtering technology divides Internet
content into 60 distinct categories. These categories are stored in
the master Blue Coat database, through which we maintain and update
more than 15 million ratings of websites and domains.
A Web site will fall into one or more of these categories,
based on the content of the site. To meet your particular
preferences and needs, you can configure the software to allow or
block specific categories.
Known Issues:
1. When browsing a web site that is blocked by K9 Web
Protection, selecting the option to Allow This Site or Allow This
Category intermittently does not accept the K9 administrator
password.
2. K9 error and warning pages that include the option to
override the Web filter intermittently do not accept the K9
administrator password. Refreshing the page should clear the
problem and allow Internet access again.
NOTE: K9 Web Protection is free for home use.
Here are some key features of "K9 Web
Protection":
· Block 60 Content Categories: Blue Coat's unique Web
filtering technology divides Internet content into 60 content
categories. These categories are stored in the master Blue Coat
database, through which we maintain and update more than eight
million ratings of websites and domains. A Web site will fall into
one or more of these categories, based on the content of the site.
To meet your particular needs and preferences, you can configure
the software to block or allow specific categories.
· Time Restrictions: K9 Web Protection enables you to
restrict the time of day users can access Web sites. If there are
specific times when you do and do not want your family accessing
the Web, this feature assists you in enforcing that policy.
· Web Site Exceptions: In addition to the defined and
custom protection levels, K9 Web Protection allows you to
explicitly block or allow access to specific Web sites. For
example, K9 is blocking a site, but you want to allow access to it,
but not any others in the category.
· Blocking Effects: K9 Web Protection offers an audible
feature in which the application plays a bark when a user attempts
to access a blocked site. This feature is useful to alert a parent,
teacher, or other care provider that someone under his or her
supervision might be stumbling onto offensive or inappropriate
content. K9 also enables Time Out Settings. If a user attempts to
visit too many blocked sites in a specified period of time, K9
completely blocks access to the Web for a specified time.
· URL Keywords: K9 Web Protection allows you to block
access to Web pages based on keywords in the Web page URL. You can,
for example, block any Web page that has the word sex in the
URL.
· Web Search Options: K9 Web Protection offers the
option of enforcing the use of Google SafeSearch, which diminishes
the amount of adult material that might be returned as a result of
an Internet search. This feature is enabled by default. Currently,
K9 Web Protection supports the safe search functionality of the
Google Search Engine only.
· View Reports of Internet Activity: K9 Web Protection
allows you to view reports of all Internet browsing activity and
administrative actions.
Requirements:
· Memory: At least 256 megabytes (MB) of RAM
· Hard disk: 25 MB free space
· Other: Internet connection
